Banning wife from native language? Ridiculous. A good husband will even try to learn a bit of her language and to get in on the jokes and conversations whenever possible.
Some people!
Comment on Its still possible but harder with each passing generation
masterofballs@wolfballs.com 2 years agoThats good advise. Although if you date a girl from another culture it's best to learn the language and culture and it's ups and downs. For one it's the respectful thing to do. I've seen dudes ban their wife from speaking their native language in their home. It's a disservice to the children. Most people probably shouldn't do it. It causes lots of fights. It puts you in awkward situations.
But If a women doesn't want children and you want children they are not worth your time or money. Not a single second should be wasted on them.
Not a one size fits all. In my case college was a good investment. I would have always regretted not going. and it was directed at getting a job not studying fat gender gay studies. I was super hard because I came from a poor broken family.
Best investment I ever made was buying a house. It doubled in value due to the pandemic. I've only owned it like 2 or 3 years and made over 240k in equity. And that was with a 10% down payment. Yeah there has been massive inflation but now my loans are cheaper. In a couple years I'll be able to sell my house and buy another one in cash in a cheaper area. I work from home anyways.

100% correct. No shortcuts.
I dated feminists in Germany for years. Finally grew a pair and moved to a more traditional country. Spent years learning language and culture, and dated village girls who wanted to be mothers. Before agreeing to be her bf, we agreed on how many kids we want, how we will handle money and jobs. The kids will learn and speak her culture first, then mine.
Went to American College too, spent ~60k. Loved it but if I could redo it, I would invest the cash better. Even paying for tech certifications would be a faster return on investment compared to private college. I think public college is way cheaper, and for hard workers, they still learn quite well.
My new house in the city from last year is worth 50% more, but I worry about increase in living costs, i.e. restaurants will pay higher rent so food prices will go up etc. Like you, I am planning to sell mine, and move to a bigger land in a rural area.

I agree. College has always been for 120+ upper middle class kids to get a finishing lesson in life, not a career program. It's worthless as that.

I do generally agree but one issue is white people going into degrees that don't provide a lot of remuneration.
The younger Whites avoid STEM which results in lots of lib arts degrees becoming barristas.

Lib arts degrees are also necessary for almost anything on the business side. Let's face it: most of STEM can't communicate with anything BUT computers.
